This Pork Chops with Dijon Mustard Sauce recipe is an easy, budget-friendly dish for two that’s sure to impress! The homemade Dijon sauce is full of French-inspired flavor that will make an ordinary weeknight feel like a romantic date night!

I don’t remember a lot of the first recipes that I ever made for my husband and myself. To be completely honest, I’ve probably tried to forget some of them. Once upon a time, my cooking skills were so far from where they are now! But I do remember making these French-inspired Pork Chops with Dijon Mustard Sauce quite a few times in the beginning of my cooking journey.

That’s probably because they’re such an easy, budget-friendly meal for two with a ton of flavor! A package of 2-3 pork chops usually costs me about three dollars, if that! The rest of the ingredients are fairly simple, but pack a lot of “wow” flavor. My husband isn’t a huge fan of mushrooms, so I used to make this recipe without them. Now, he’s learned to pick around them so I can enjoy every single bite of this dish!

If you’re looking for an easy dinner for two and love a good, pan-seared pork chop, head to SoFabFood.com today for these Pork Chops with Dijon Mustard Sauce! Serve them with a side of rice or a nice salad. It’s a light, but satisfying dish that’s perfect for spring!

If Chinese takeout is a must on cold days, enjoy the flavor of homemade wonton soup without the fuss with this homemade Wonton Noodle Soup with Pork Meatballs recipe!

Why do I always want soup when it’s warm out?

We just went through a Polar Vortex of extremely frigid temperatures (or so I’ve been told – the cold never bothered me anyway). Then, it went from one extreme to another and warmed up to 60 degrees. I was in the middle of a little “meal prep Monday” session when I started getting a sinus headache. It turned into a full blown migraine that had me in bed for a good portion of the day.

Thankfully, I had finished my meatballs for this soup beforehand! All I had to do the next day was boil my soup and dish it out into a bowl! So on a 60 degree day, that felt more like springtime than winter, I whipped up a batch of this wonton noodle soup and enjoyed every single, slurp-worthy second of it!

It’s takeout soup without the delivery wait!

There’s nothing more comforting than a bowl of noodle soup. Even in warm temps when you’re battling day two of the raging sinus headache (thankfully, this one didn’t last as long and wasn’t as severe).

Chinese takeout and wonton soup are usually reserved for snow days, but I had been dying to make this recipe for months (there was even an Instagram poll about it – did you see it?)! Making the pork meatballs the day before ended up being a blessing in disguise. All I had to do the next day was drop them into broth with some chopped bok choy and wonton wrappers.

I decided to use wonton wrappers as an easy noodle replacement. I cut the wrappers into strips using a pizza cutter. They don’t take long at all to cook. Maybe about a minute or two. Some of them stuck together in the process, becoming one thick, chewy noodle!

You might have to add a little more broth or even water after adding the wonton noodles. They tend to suck up a lot of the liquid while they’re cooking.

You’ll probably end up with about half a package of wonton wrappers leftover. I’m still deciding what to do with mine. In the meantime, I have them in the freezer. When it comes time to whip up some amazing takeout-at-home style recipe, all I’ll have to do is thaw them out!

And speaking of the freezer, this soup serves about 4-6 bowls, so enjoy it all week or freeze the leftovers and have better-than-takeout style soup anytime the craving hits!
